A fresh, urban twist on the classic tale of star-crossed lovers.
When
Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior
year, she has no clue that her carefully created "perfect” life is about
to unravel before her eyes. She’s forced to be lab partners with Alex
Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to
threaten everything she's worked so hard for, her flawless reputation,
her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life
is anything but perfect.
Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So
when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he
thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person
with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into
something much more.
In a passionate story about looking
beneath the surface, Simone Elkeles breaks through the stereotypes and
barriers that threaten to keep Brittany and Alex apart.

While It Lasts
Maybe driving home after
a few (or more) shots of tequila had been a bad idea, but hell, he did
it all the time. The cops had to have been freaking bored to have pulled
him over. He wasn’t even swerving! That’s Cage York’s story and he’s
sticking to it.
Unfortunately, his baseball coach isn’t buying it. Cage has a free ride to the local junior college for baseball -- or he did, until he’d gotten a DUI. Now, Cage has to decide: does he drop out and give up his dream of getting noticed by a college in the SEC, and possibly making it into the Major Leagues -- or does he give in to his coach’s demands and spend his summer baling hay?
Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbor, had been the center of those goals. He’d been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen, and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she’d received the phone call from Josh’s mother saying he’d been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva’s carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible.
Cage isn’t real happy with his closet-sized bedroom in the back of a foul smelling barn, or his daily interactions with cows, but he knows that if he doesn’t make his coach happy then he can kiss his scholarship goodbye. Only a sick and twisted man would decide his punishment was to be working on a farm all summer. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows.
Oh -- and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he’s every seen. But she doesn’t count, because as hard as he’s tried to charm her out of her panties - he’s pretty sure she’d rather see him hung from the rafters than let him get a taste of her pretty little lips.
3.5 Stars to be honest.
this series started with Breathe which I loved, it was YA Adult all the way but it had/has Abbi' s unique touch, Jax was the most delicios character I had read for a while. then it was Because of Low, it was a little bit "spicier" and now this one was more one of the "Vincent Boys" series than the previous two, it was sexy as hell!
I liked it and read it in a couple of days shich shows how keen on it I was, I missed some of Jax's romance, some heroic moment, somme utterly romantic bit that showed that they were more than a piercing and a pair of tiny shorts.

Biting Cold
Biting Cold (Chicagoland Vampires #6)
by
Chloe Neill
Turned into a vampire
against her will, twenty-eight-year-old Merit found her way into the
dark circle of Chicago’s vampire underground, where she learned there
was more to supernaturals than met the eye—and more supernaturals than
the public ever imagined.And not all the secrets she learned were for
sharing—among humans or inhumans. Now Merit is on the hunt,
charging across the stark American Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural
intent on stealing an ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic
evil on the world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland
is hunting her, and he’ll stop at nothing to get the book for himself. No mercy allowed.No rules apply. No lives spared. The race is on.
I wasn't impressed at first, I thought we were going to get back in time and Merit was going to fight the evil and Ethan was back to being his jerk self...I am happy to say that many things have changed along the book and that a huge new plot can be seen on the horizon....that said, I am counting days for the next one!
If I Should Die: Cover Reveal!
If I Should Die, Book 3 in Amy's romantic, gothic, Parisian-set paranormal series, isn't available until May next year.
